Introduction
Configuration Requirements
Configure the Module for Your EtherNet/IP Network
Before using the modules in an EtherNet/IP network, you need to configure
them with an IP address, subnet mask, and optional Gateway address. This
chapter describes these configuration requirements and the procedures for
providing them. Here are the ways you can do this:
•
Use the Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP utility, version 2.3 or greater,
that ships with Studio 5000 Logix Designer or RSLinx software. You can
also use this utility to reconfigure a device whose IP address must be
changed.
•
Use a third party DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.
•
Use the Network Address switches.
•
Have your network administrator configure the module via the network
server.
See the table for a list of where to find specific information in this chapter.
Topic
Before you can use your module, you must configure its IP address, its subnet
mask, and optionally, gateway address. You have the option to use the
Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP utility, version 2.3 or greater, to perform
the configuration. You also have the option to use a DHCP server or the
network address switches to configure these parameters.
If the module needs to be reset to factory defaults, set the switches on the
module to the value 888 and then cycle power to the module.
IMPORTANT If using the BootP/DHCP utility, you will need to know the Ethernet hardware
address of your module. Rockwell Automation assigns each module a
unique 48-bit hardware address at the factory. The address is printed on a
label on the side of your module. It consists of six hexadecimal digits
separated by colons. This address is fixed by the hardware and cannot be
changed.
If you change or replace the module, you must enter the new Ethernet
hardware address of the module when you configure the new module.
